Listen to my interview and learn about palative care, dignity therapy and home movies

I recently had the opportunity to interview Carol Weeks Bright Future Hypnotherapy . Carole Weeks is a Certified Hypnotherapist, a graduate of The Hypnotherapy Motivation Institute, in Reseda, California. Her practice is located in Sierra Madre, California . She works with clients who have a range of needs for improvement in their lives. In addition, she has trained with Dr. Harvey Cochinov in Dignity Therapy. Dignity Therapy is a palliative care intervention. Through an interview using a standardized interview protocol a legacy document is created with an individual at the end of their life. The document is the result of an interview using a standardized interview protocol that has been developed and researched by Dr. Cochinov and his research team at the University of Manitoba, Manitoba, Canada. The client presents the final document to his loved ones.

Find out who can benefit from creating this legacy document and the benfits of hyponotherapy as it related to life changed. I feel that in conjunction with a person looking at their home movies, this additional work in Dignity Therapy will help people feel like they matter, and certainly, help their families gain a deeper level of understanding and compassion about their loved one.

EXPOSING “REEL” INSPIRATION TO CREATE A MEDIA LEGACY THAT LIVES! – ON ROCKSTAR WORLDWIDE, PRODUCED BY THE DOUBLEWIDE RADIO NETWORK Double Wide Network

Listen to our Radio Show Live Thursday at 4 PST/7EST

I remember it was in the fall of 2012 after I published my book Get Reel About Your Home Movie Legacy Before It’s Too Late! that I got serious about developing a platform to share my message and passion about home movies, why they are important, how they can help you heal or understand your family better, and ofcourse, teach the crucial part of archiving, preservation and how to bring these films into your digital life.

After 30 years of working in the entertainment industry on Hollywood blockbusters such as Argo, Super 8, JFK that had home movie flashbacks in them and TV shows such as American Idol, VH-1 Behind The Music, I saw that the home movie archiving part of our business was growing. Celebs, the Hollywood “A” list and industry people really wanted to take care of their personal media the same way they took care of their professional media. I wanted more than anything to teach the masses to do the same.

Upon the urging of my marketing coach Craig Duswalt I was convinced that a weekly radio show was a great and powerful way to reach the masses. After just one show, I was hooked, and after a year we were reaching 10,000 people a month who wanted to learn not just about the “how” but the “why” – why you want
To bring these films from the past into the present so they will be there for the future.

We have over 50 shows in our iTunes library, and will be adding a new show each week.

Welcome to the First Home Movie Legacy Newsletter!

Home movies are our national treasure. They are time machines that capture the stories of our lives as individuals, families and as a people with a shared history and culture. The home movie camera has recorded the annals of our lives and those of our ancestors. There are millions of feet of 16mm, 8mm and super 8mm film (and many thousands of hours of video tapes). There are big stories to tell about the people, who they were, what they did and where they traveled. You can peek in and see the preface to the story on almost every reel. These frames are meant to delight audiences large and small! It’s all up to you and your imagination.

Weather you’re a filmmaker looking at new ways to create a compelling story using found footage, a family memory keeper, archivist or historian Home Movie Legacy want to be your GO TO resource for moving old media into your digital life. Our expertise comes from running Pro8mm, a company that has specialized in the scanning of these film and video formats for over 40 years for moguls and the masses. We can help you tell your story!

The mission of Home Movie Legacy is to offer resources, information and inspiration to families and filmmakers to tell compelling stories with legacy footage. Weather you want to learn about cool things you could and should do with your home movies, organize, digitize or monetize all those formats, or a filmmaker wanting to make a documentary from a story inspired from archival reels, we are here to help!– Rhonda Vigeant

Out of the Archives: The History of the Eagles

Our company, Pro8mm is so grateful that we get to have a hand in preserving the legacy of so much material that has shaped American culture! It has been about four years since we first had reels and reels of home movies from The Eagles brought in to be scanned on our Millennium II HD scanner. Now, the finished film is a Sundance 2013 winner, has been on Showtime, and is available to purchase or download!

“NEVER BEFORE SEEN” is the catch phase I love when a new documentary comes on the scene! See home movies shot on the tour bus. A story of the 1970’s. A story of an American band and music in Southern California! A rare glimpse behind the scenes of a very private band! Time to tell their story while the past 40 years were still fresh in their mind the band proclaims!

Tech Talk: Beyond the DVD

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT TRANSFER YOUR HOME MOVIES TO DVD

As a person passionate about raising the consciousness about why home movies are so important and wanting to share with people what I have learned, I can’t help but think about how much information there is on the internet from transfer houses about preservation and archiving your home movies that is not entirely correct. First and foremost is that a DVD does NOT preserve your film. A DVD is only a copy of your original film master by which you can easily watch your home movies. The quality of a DVD is far inferior to what is on your original film. You cannot easily edit a DVD transfer. More and more people understand that they can share their films in so many fabulous ways when they are properly encoded as computer files, put on a hard drive that you can then plug into your computer. You can edit them and make compelling little stories by theme, upload clips on FaceBook, have a family YouTube Channel, download them to your iPad, and so much more.
